lucky you he's still on the super shock, take a look at the Yamaha
pulsar in Neoanarch real life its even better.

I play tasers at 1.5 * impact armour, based on the fact that in other
systems (eg hero) any armour is immunity and as they stand in SR2
they are 'super weapons', totally and utterly terminal (as far as
continued combat effectiveness goes) to anything they hit short of
dragons and similar.
